Reading this IG

Page standards status: Informative

This implementation guide uses terminology, notations and design principles that are specific to FHIR. Before reading this implementation guide, it is important to be familiar with some of the basic principles of FHIR as well as general guidance on how to read FHIR specifications. Readers who are unfamiliar with FHIR are encouraged to read (or at least skim) the following prior to reading the rest of this implementation guide.

• FHIR overview
• Developer's introduction (or Clinical introduction)
• FHIR data types
• Using codes
• References between resources
• How to read resource & profile definitions and additional IG reading guidance
• Base resource

This implementation guide supports the R4 version of the FHIR standard.

• A complete list of the FHIR resources in the core specification can be found here.

This implementation guide utilizes the following profiles. Implementers therefore need to familiarize themselves with those profiles as well.

• profiles from the US Core 6.1 (FHIR R4) implementation guide,
• the DEQM Summary MeasureReport profile from the Da Vinci Data Exchange for Quality Measures (DEQM) implementation guide STU5.0.0, and
• the CRMI Sharable Measure profile from the Canonical Resource Management Infrastructure (CRMI) (CRMI) implementation Guide STU1.0.0.

The table below lists the resources profiled or otherwise used in this specification. Implementers should review the general descriptions and usage notes for these resources for additional implementation guidance.

Used to represent a VBP contract. Also used in example quality measure reports for measures.</a></td>
